CZ Shadow 2 Compact sights & optics

Here you find the CZ Shadow 2 Compact accessories and upgrades we have for sighting: optic plates that put a red dot on your CZ Shadow 2 Compact, red dots that fit the optic cut directly and iron sights. Everything on this page is made for the CZ Shadow 2 Compact, so you only need to pick the right group for your pistol.

Putting a red dot on your CZ Shadow 2 Compact

• CZ Shadow 2 Compact Optics Ready: the slide has a factory optic cut closed with a cover plate. An optic plate goes into the cut and takes the red dot. We have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro and Holosun 509T footprints. The Shadow 2 Compact is Optics Ready and takes the plates of the Shadow 2 Optics Ready family. See Optics ready plates for CZ Shadow 2 Compact.

The Vector Optics Frenzy 1x20x24 fits the optic cut directly, without a plate. See Direct-fit red dots for CZ Shadow 2 [OR].

Choosing a plate by footprint

Every plate takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate that names it. The type letters (type A, type S…) differ between makers, so always read the footprints in the brackets.

Sights for the CZ Shadow 2 Compact

Our iron sights for the CZ Shadow 2 Compact come from LPA and Zendl. They are Shadow 2 sights that also fit the Compact. See Sights for CZ Shadow 2 Compact.

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits a CZ Shadow 2 Compact?

Any red dot whose footprint matches a plate or mount for your slide. For the CZ Shadow 2 Compact Optics Ready we have plates for eight footprints. The Vector Optics Frenzy 1x20x24 fits the optic cut directly, without a plate.

Can I install it at home?

Yes. A plate needs no gunsmith and no milling: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Can I change the sights on my CZ Shadow 2 Compact at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
